Election Day

freely frolicking funerals litter
our pedestrian highways on
more than one occasion recently,
no action on our speculations;
souls dangle in crisis unheard and
unseen by the popular majority,
who spends more time answering
questions than asking them;
mass confusions ushers us into
our own mass graves as politicians
feast on banquet venison and rice
honoring all righteous speculation;
caskets of hope are carried daily on
the backs of those already burdened
and who are ignored by the wealthy
until it is time for election day.
